"Vo Thi Sau is a treasure trove of bike shops and the astute cyclist can sometimes find a bargian or 3". Today we will look at my recent purchase, "The LauX'! An unashamedly Chinese branded beast which trys so hard to be something its not...but in the process becomes something else!
2" deep track rims on a flat bar hybrid? Why? Who knows but it works for me and the acceleration you get with these inflexible wheel set is exciting. I fell in love with this bike as soon as I saw it but on close inspection noticed it needed a few improvements.
Modifications;- New bottom bracket (seal unit)
- New tyres
- New Derailleur
- New Cranks
- SPD Pedals
Something to build on; The frame and forks however are ideal. This is a 48cm frame which suits me well. The race saddle and flat bars allow good handling through the Saigon traffic and the generic caliper brakes do the job...but only just. Cranks are too short and of low quality. Rear Derailleur is a joke, but the frame, forks, decent quality head stem and bars and of course those dead sexy rims are something to build on.!
Price; 4m VND ($190USD)
Where; Vo Thi Sau (East side)
Rating; 6.5/10
It is safe to say I have a challenging bike commute: 41 miles each way; 7 miles of water to cross each way; and 300 meters of vertical to climb on the way home. Given all that, I leverage public transit all I can to ensure I don't spend 4+ hours a day commuting. That means going over to San Francisco on BART (Bay Area Public Transportation) and down the peninsula on CalTrain or down the east bay on BART and across the Dumbarton Bridge on bus. The first option was preferable because the CalTrain system on the peninsula has dedicated bike cars. No other system in the bay area does carbon bike wheels
